The latest of Panasonic's "adventure" cams. It's a sturdy camera with great handling that continues to impress us.

The Sony HX100V is a powerhouse of an ultrazoom that replaces the great but aged HX1.

So many features, we're not sure how they'll fit on the box art. But for all that, we were disappointed by its handling.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX78 is an ultracompact decidedly marketed towards the female user base.

The ZS10 balances portability and features pretty well. It's simple enough for beginners, but allows you to grow.

The lack of manual controls will lose the budget-minded that are looking for more than an entry-level feel.

It comes packed with almost every feature you can imagine, including a full web browser.

An "experimental" unit featuring PenTouch, which allows you to draw directly on the screen with a special pen.
